I spoke to Dave Semperger today. As it turns out, Julie has already done the page-by-page QC and doesn't need to return to the Lab. Steve, however, wants to go over each file himself, which he can begin doing now that he is back in the office. He should be done on Wednesday, and Dave will call to let me know if they need to reshoot anything.
The Jeep they use to transport their equipment is unavailable this week, so they plan to remove their equipment on Monday. They are willing to come by on Wednesday and consolidate/start breaking down.

BPI finished scanning on 3/17/09. We are expecting them to come back to do quality control and to remove their equipment.

BPI arrived this morning and is photographing the notebooks. Julie is using a glass platen to flatten each page, and they rigged a collar for the camera to control reflections in the glass.

- wash hands before handling archival material
- do not shoot back of targets
- shoot incidental blank pages, including endsheets
- shoot "loose bits" individually on a blank background
- handle negatives and photos by the edges
- file naming will follow conventions used for the Edgerton microfilm scanning (Phase 1): MC0025_nbG2_000.tif. Per Liz's email, G2 will be used for the Germeshausen notebook and B1 for the biographical notebook.
